who's ready to get spooky
hello everyone welcome back it is time
for the october edition of tbr clutter
it's one of god's masterpieces
if you don't know this is my tbr game
inspired by pluto or clue if you're
american but i call it cludo if you've
never seen tv pluto i will leave the
link down below to the playlist into the
first video where i go through all the
rules everything you need to know but if
you do know how it goes hello welcome
back i'm so excited these are my
favorite videos to film i just love this
game so much i just love it so much i'm
so excited for this month october i've
never okay
i've never felt so excited for spooky
season
i've never like here's the thing
seasonal depression
seasonal depression
seasonal depression so when it starts
getting darker
not my favorite thing but this this year
i just feel a lot more excited for the
autumnal kind of vibe more than i ever
really have so i'm looking forward to it
so i want to read loads of spooky books
this month lots of horror books that i
want to read that i want to try and fit
on this tbr lots of murder mysteries i
would quite like to read it's the season
it is the season for murder mysteries
and for horror just before we get into
it i wasn't able to show you these last
month because we hadn't finished making
them yet but i wanted to show you the
tbr cludo books that my patrons will get
if you join the aurora tier aren't they
so cute so this is going to be the next
pair that goes out to whoever signs up
next then this is the pair after they
come in loads of colors there's like
golds greens but you get one number
which is the number that you were to
join the tier and you get a book with a
paw print on it and they're little books
and they're just so cute
in other good news i can now use the
rose prompt i don't know if you can see
but this is entirely filled
with book recommendations or books that
my patrons have picked so all my
pictures when they join they can pick
two books off of my tbr that they want
me to read and then if i choose the rose
weapon in the game i randomly
pick a book out of here and it is so
full but i'm excited i want to try and
and get that in this round in terms of
how i did with september's tbr i had
these five books plus the audiobook for
other words for home on it i have read
these three and other words for home
already i am currently reading nancy
drew the bungalow mystery and i will
finish this today and i have not yet
started a song of race and ruin but i
have to read this by the end of the
month i'm currently filming this on the
26th i have to finish this by the end of
the month because the video that it's
for has to go up in september so i will
definitely read this so i'm not going to
take a punishment this month if for some
reason i do not finish a song of racing
ruin i will take a punishment i'll let
you know in a vlog but i think we're
going to be fine i don't think we have
anything to worry about so without
further ado
i think it's time to get into the first
roll and see how kind tbr kudo is for me
this month so
here's row one
the fact that i only have two books in
horror and this month i want to read so
much horror is going to be so hard but i
really want to try and use the rose
prompt today i really want to try and
get that so my patrons can pick a book
okay first roll
okay we've got person number three which
is red and let's see how many
things we can roll
okay we've got a two and a six i'm
hoping i can get into horror with that
so let's see so that's eight so one two
three four
five six seven eight okay great
so that is number 27
which is a book rated three stars on
goodreads okay so roll one was a horror
rated three stars on goodreads so this
is any horror that is rated three point
something on goodreads and this is
actually the round that i chose for my
patrons to vote on so if you don't know
my patrons every month will vote on one
round of tbr cluedo and that book will
become our book club book for the month
and they'll get a live show for an
exclusive reading vlog for it i knew i
wanted to try and have our book club
book this month be a horror so the
choices that i gave them were pine by
francine tune horrid by catriona leno
the luminous dead by caitlyn starling
and hashtag murder trending by gretchen
mcneil and it was pretty neck and neck
between these two for the whole vote but
in the end hashtag murder trending
pulled ahead well she tried at least you
know she
so i'm really excited to read this this
is a dystopian horror and this one is
about these executions that are live
streamed and voted on so it's kind of
mixed media it's got like tweets i don't
know if you can really see that but it's
like tweets where people are like
talking about who should be killed who
should be executed in this game show
that's all i really know about it but
i'm really excited to start this series
and i'm really excited to read this with
my patrons as our book club book for
october i think it's going to be a bit
different anything i've read before
because i don't read a lot of horror and
b i don't really love dystopian style
stuff so i'm excited i've wanted to get
into this series for pretty much like
the whole year i've been wanting to
start this so i'm glad that my patrons
finally gave me a kick up the ass and
i'm gonna read it my patrons getting
sick of me saying i am going to read
this for months and finally making me
read it i've been a grey out today
that's all right thank you bye
she hadn't done for the
last couple of days i feel like it's
going to be very black mirroring very
funny i've heard it's just kind of like
a fun well as fun as executions can be
but like a fun rumpy kind of horror
thriller kind of thing so really excited
this is october okay time for roll two
person number one which is green okay so
we're basically in the horror room again
get our two horror rolls out of the way
first i guess and then let's roll
this
okay we've got nine
that time i think let's try and just get
that other horror whilst we're here
so oh i can use three or six because i
don't have to use the combo so i could
use six let's go one two
three
four no
one two three four no
one two three four five nine
i don't know if i can get there in six
one two three four
oh my god all right let's try with nine
uh one two three four five six seven
eight nine
one two three
four
five
six seven eight nine okay we did it
and that is number 19 which is a book
i've hauled recently so roll two was a
horror that i have hauled recently i
wanted to make sure i got both the
horror prompts that i could in this
round i've hauled a lot of horror
recently and the one i've chosen is the
most recent horror book that i have
hauled so recent i haven't actually had
a chance to include in a haul video yet
and it is white smoke by tiffany jackson
if you follow me on like twitter i've
been speaking about this a lot but this
is like one of my most anticipated
releases of the year it's this haunted
house horror i am just so excited i've
always wanted to read tiffany d
jackson's stuff and now i'm going to i
think it's just going to be like very
psychological crazy i've always wanted
to read haunted house stuff the idea of
like a haunted house book excites me i'm
just really excited for the suspense
that this book is going to build so this
copy was very kindly sent to me i think
it is out definitely in the us now i'm
not sure if it is quite out in the uk
now but i am just so excited in october
i feel like this is the number one book
i wanted to make sure i read in october
so i was very lucky that a prompt led
itself to that
success very very excited to read this
in october okay roll three
person number five which is why oh my
god okay we're down here
okay let's see how many things we roll
four and a four oh can we get to the
rose prompt with that one two three four
five six
yeah
one two three four five six
um
one two three
four five six seven no okay so i've
never actually used the stairs yet but
the rule is i have to go
one two three
count another thing four because it has
to use up a roll
to get there so maybe that will work so
one two
three
four
five six seven eight oh my god we did it
whoa okay so we got the rose prompt okay
so for roll three i got the rose weapon
i am so excited but i'm honestly
myself i am myself i'm
nervous
because there's so many different books
in here i have no idea what it's going
to be okay so i'm going to give it a
good shake
oh my god i'm trying to oh this one's
falling out i'm trying to get to one
deep down
okay
oh my god i'm not so nervous what is it
what is that
hunting prince dracula
oh my god
you may say
i'm a dreamer
okay so i was like
what i'm just so lucky because i already
was kind of thinking about reading this
this month i wasn't sure because i have
not read the first book store conjecture
ripper in like two years but i remember
last october november i really wanted to
read hunting prince dracula but i didn't
own it then and then kind of the time
passed but i feel like it's very much
like an autumnal book i cannot believe
how lucky i've got so let me find out
who what patrons submitted hunting
prince dracula i don't think it was a
super popular one that a lot of people
said okay so there was only one patron
submitted hunting prince dracula which
is crazy because there's quite a lot of
books that like five people submitted
but one person submitted huntington's
dracula and it was nikki so
nikki i am reading this thanks to you
this month i am just so excited oh my
god it just feels so autumnal so
exciting i read still conjecture of her
two years ago so it's been a while since
i was in this book universe but i think
it's gonna be quite an easy series to
pick back up again because it's not
exactly the most complex so in this
we're following audrey rose wadsworth
and thomas cresswell and their kind of
relationship and in the first one
they're trying to figure out who jack
the ripper is it's set in victorian
england which
my favorite and then i think this one
obviously they're going to be hunting
down prince dracula and i'm so excited
to get back into this victorian autumnal
kind of spooky kind of creepy world oh
my god nikki you've done me a
solid you've done me a solid i am just
so excited oh i forgot how much i loved
the pictures in this book kind of like
just bring survivor live oh my god i am
so happy i am so so happy i want to jump
up and down i want to do a dance and
then i want to have the glass of
champagne that i put in the fridge last
night what a good pick the patrons
pulled through with the rose product i
am so happy
ah i'm so excited this is on my list
okay roll number
four already oh my god okay roll number
four five is that this is that white
again
yes it is
okay we've got white again
and let's see what we wrote
an eight again okay i don't have much
fantasy i want to read this month if i'm
honest i might actually go back after
all of that i might actually go back
into the romance room after all that
effort i think i may go back into the
romance room because i actually barely
got any like fantasy fantasy on my tbr i
mean i could read some
but i think i'm leaning towards more
romance so one two three four
five
six seven
eight
which is number six and that is
something with white on the cover okay
so for roll four we got a romance which
you know i don't read a lot of them with
white on the cover and for this i have
actually chosen the love hypothesis by
ali hazelwood now i was not planning on
reading this book
i was not planning on reading it but i
am actually excited to it is a book of
the month book which i didn't think to
be the first book of the month book that
i have that i read but it is i think
it's about these two scientists and
one's a phd candidate one's a young
young professor which like i've heard
people talk about the apparent power
balance there but i think a lot of
people you know the phd candidate is
like mature and the professor is very
young and she's not his phd student so
it's not like they're
each other's teacher and student but
i've actually heard really good things
about this a lot of people have been
reading it and i have heard only good
things i haven't heard anyone dislike it
so maybe this will be a romance i love
who knows who knows who knows but we're
going to be reading it this month right
roll 5 already we're almost there
person number eight which is blue oh my
god i can't escape fantasy
i don't think i think we're gonna have
to read fantasy something it's
fantastical let's roll this oh my god
that was
that was crazy oh okay interestingly we
rolled a double which means i can move
that much
and go again
but what i really want to read this
month it's up here mysteries and
historicals i've got a lot of them that
i want to read this month so how far can
we get
one two
three four five six seven eight nine ten
eleven twelve okay we're gonna do that
and we're gonna roll again
oh we got seven okay one two three
four five six seven okay we got that one
and that is number five
roll five number five oh okay there's
something with blue on the cover roll
five was a mystery with blue on the
cover and for this i have chosen dead
dead girls by nikiasafia
no hang on a minute i like this oh my
god so the font is blue she's wearing a
blue dress there's lots of blue i feel
like the whole cover is like tonally
blue
i think it's fun so i am so excited this
has been one of my number one like most
anticipated books to get to it's set in
1920s harlem and young black girls are
going missing and our main character
kind of takes it upon herself to
investigate it and figure out what's
going on now a number one thing to say
this is not a cozy mystery this is dark
i think it goes into a lot of very very
dark subjects the kind of cover makes it
look a bit cozy i feel like the kind of
illustration style but it's not it's a
very dark series but i'm just so excited
i bought this from the recommendation of
mara from books like why she has been a
number one person i've been going to for
like my mystery recommendations so i am
very excited that i got this on my tbr
for this month oh my god i hope i love
it if i love this i will just ah this is
like a five star prediction i really i
really hope i'm gonna love it time for
our last roll
[Music]
person number seven
which is brown
where's brown oh in mystery again okay
that's great and then let's roll
this
a seven again a three or a four let's
maybe just go
one two three four yeah and that's
number what is that eighteen number
eighteen the longest title and then row
six the last round was a mystery with
the longest title so i went on my
goodreads shelf for my mysteries and the
longest titles there was a couple of
them they all had six words so i just
chose one of them that i wanted to read
one of the titles with six words and it
is marion lane and the midnight murder
by t.a wolberg this is another one of
another 2021 new release that i have
just been so excited to get to i
remember i was doing one of my last uni
projects and i bought this like as a
reward for myself for finishing it
because i was at that point in at the
end of uni when i was just so stressed
and like really really struggling so um
i bought this for myself as a reward
it's about this like group of private
detectives and there's this like
underground labyrinth in london that
they use to like move from different
parts of london to the other i also
believe it's a locked room murder
mystery like i think there's a murder in
this locked room and marion lane i think
starts out as like a secretary or an
apprentice and um she is trying to
figure out what happened and i'm so
excited it's another like five star
prediction both of these i am just like
i am so excited to read i'm really
hoping i'm gonna love them and i'm
really excited to get into like more
like murder mystery both historical
murder mystery as well i do love my
historical murder mysteries so i'm super
excited to get to these this month so
